It’s been a busy day for the Albany cops. At last count, we’ve received a heads up on several cop-related bits of news today.

City police are investigating a home invasion that happened this morning at 529 Washington Ave., which is between Ontario and Quail streets. Cops said four men broke into a second-floor apartment at the multifamily home. Detective James Miller said it doesn’t appear that anyone was injured.

The four suspects jumped out a second floor window into the backyard, dumping two handguns in the yard and fleeing the scene, police said. It is unknown if the suspects took anything from the apartment, but police said the house was specifically targeted.

Also, a Mobil station at 651 Central Ave. was held up early this morning. A 5’6″, 200 pound white male made off with several hundred dollars.

Cops also responded to the scene of an alleged shooting at Clinton and North Lake avenues. No real information on that yet, but we’ll keep you updated as information is released.
